I just finished reading "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow. I enjoyed it. It was engagingly written, the characters were sharply-drawn, and you cared about what happened to them. The plot was plausible, frighteningly so.
A few points I didn't like:
Some of the characters (especially the DHS agents) bordered on caricature.
Although I realize that it was written for the YA market, I found "Don't trust anyone over 25" pandering.
Emma Goldman? REALLY?
And ONE quibble; NO ONE in SF calls it "THE" BART; it's just BART.
